As mentioned, the free Afro-Punk Festival is returning to Brooklyn's Commodore Barry Park on August 25-26. Since then, the lineup has been expanded, and now joining the initial announcement of Erykah Badu, Janelle Monae, Toro y Moi, Das Racist, Reggie Watts, and more is TV on the Radio (who will be headlining), Sinkane, Alice Smith, Flatbush Zombies, Radkey, Joe Jordan Experiment (JJX), and Purple Ferdinand.. Plus, the following DJs have been added: The Supasonics, Grits and Biscuits, DJ Pete Smoke Les, Stack-Aly, Roofeeo and VENUS X GHE20GOTH1K.

There will also be a Bites & Beats Food Truck Festival, an Afro-Punk Spinthrift Market, a motorcycle show, and a Nike Battle For the Streets Skate Competition, hosted by Alex Corporan and Billy Rohan. More details on these are below.

The updated lineup, flier and an Afro-Punk exclusive film, I Am Other, are below.

They still haven't announced which performers are playing which days? That's annoying.

Also: I can understand how several of the comments here are some legitimate stab at humor or what-have-you, but what is "Blipsters of the world unite!" supposed to accomplish exactly? It's not clever to point out there will be Blipsters there, or use the "of the world unite!" construction. Is it supposed to be a Marxist jab at the corporate-sponsoritude of the thing? (I doubt you even really thought about it much as you wrote, to be fair).

4:20 I wrote that. Yes, it was a jab at a "punk" festival with a laundry list of corporate sponsors. If anyone thinks for a second that this fest is somehow reflective of punk rock ethos they are a fool.

While Das Racist doesn't belong on any bill, I'm certainly skeptical of them being on this bill, considering that it's two Indian guys, and a guy that's half Italian, and half "Afro-Cuban". So their overall demography is 15% black, and 0% credible rappers? No fucking thanks.
